Bigwan Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Jonnyboy Rotten' timestamp='1418153365' post='2627492'] How cool! ? http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/12/glow-tables-by-mike-warren/ [/quote] Some builders are bound to be pretty open to doing this sort of thing. When you consider that some top woods need epoxy filled to be viable for use anyway (buckeye burl is one I've seen this done on) it's not that big a departure...

Roland Rock Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I've been experimenting with different inlays for furniture recently - silicone, metal, even cinnamon. Loving the glow stuff though. I've ordered a batch to have a play. I've had an idea brewing where I have a piece of wood riddled with woodworm holes (beasties now long gone) and was going to put a brightly coloured silicone in the holes, but this glow stuff will be even better. Obviously it will be called The GlowWorm table :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 But will it be any good for metal..? *Sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyboy Rotten Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Does it work like normal glow in the dark stuff where it would be brightest just after you turn the lights out and gradually get dimmer? Do you reckon it would lose effectiveness over time and be barely visible in say five years time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rungles Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I've been using glow powder in clear casting resin for many years now with great success. I've made garden 'lights' which are still glowing strongly 8 years after they were first made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime_BASS Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Bass body? I'd like to see this on a fretboard with the glow parts the markers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 This isn't luminescent, but maybe it could be done as part of the same process?
